WaveRoller Tested in Portugal

A first-of-a-kind commercially-ready offshore wave power
generation device is soon to be completed thanks to the experts
from Finnish-based wave energy technology developer AW-Energy.

The team has deployed its WaveRoller device offshore at Peniche,
a seaside municipality and a city in Portugal.

Extended sea trials are being used to fine-tune the WaveRoller's
control system to maximize its performance and yield. Engineers
are also monitoring the device's performance using the company's
next generation monitoring software which can be used to remotely
access the device by any of the engineers from anywhere in the
world and at any time, to help assess and manage the performance
of WaveRoller.

The deployment of WaveRoller in Peniche is an important step
forward in AW-Energy's mission to test the end-to-end commercial
and technical capabilities of its latest wave energy device. It
demonstrates AW-Energy's long-term commitment to invest in wave
energy technology that provides electricity out-of-phase with
local wind conditions and solar that needs the sun.
